The AD is great.

But... on http://www.kviero.com/cheaper-by-design

i have to say that for Ubuntu Server the minimal ram req. is 128Mb not 256Mb, 1 GB of disk space,
see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu Server (CLI) Installation)

And a Cisco 2800 is a Router,
Pfsense is a BSD designed to be a Firewall/Gateway,
Untangle is a LiGNUx designed to be a Firewall/Gateway,
you can compare better with Vyatta and Quagga Routing suite.

Great work!
:)

I doubt most people who'd be hiring you would either be interested in open source for its own sake or even know what it is. You might want to play up the reduced costs angle instead.

Fixed the Sys. Req. issues. Thank you.

I have a suggestion for your site. Whenever you use acronyms, rather than putting the description at the bottom of they page, you should use the full length version of it the first time with the acronym next to it in parenthesis, and then use the acronym for the rest of the writing. Remember you're catering to small businesses so throwing around a lot of technical acronyms is going to give you less of a homely feeling.

Thank you, and I fixed it.

They look good, but it's waaaaay too vague. Mention cutting costs by getting better computer software instead of saying "open source". I've known programmers who haven't heard of open source.

Well, these are just ad banners, the website explains everything better.

A lot of un-needed capitalized words in the second one. I would fix that.

I think substantially would be a better word to use than exponentially.

Also, I think it'd be better if the questions were written in sentence case, instead of Title Case.

Should be all better now. Thank you.

Businsses don't care about "Open Source", what they care about is cost effectiveness and ability to do a specific job efficiently. Those are the things that should be pushed when promoting open source. Expressing the capability is much more important than expressing the name "Open Source". Most people who are not programmers don't care if a program is open source or not. They do care about the price and how well it works.
